Luca got on Li Yuanhong's armored vehicle. There were not many people in the two armored vehicles, and there was a table welded in the center of the vehicle. During wartime, maps and other military facilities could be placed on the table while the commander conducted battlefield analysis. But now there is breakfast on the table.
"Mr. Luca hasn't eaten yet!" Li Yuanhong asked politely.
Luka blushed. In order to come early this morning, he had not eaten breakfast in a hurry.
"I haven't had a good meal, and I haven't had breakfast yet, so come over and have some together." Li Yuanhong invited.
"Okay...Okay, then I'm welcome." Luka came to the table and sat down.
But when Luka saw the food on the table, he was a little stunned. The breakfast prepared by Li Yuanhong today was not very complicated, consisting of millet porridge, several dishes of side dishes and a plate of steamed buns.
Although the food is simple, there are no knives and forks on the table, only chopsticks. You know, Luca has never used chopsticks. After all, as a follower of His Majesty the Pope, he does not need to receive tourists from China, so naturally he has no chance. When it comes to Chinese food, Luca has actually eaten Chinese food in Rome several times, but he feels that the taste is just a little more varied than Western food, and there is no other difference. What's more, the restaurants where Luca eats Chinese food all have knives and forks.
Li Yuanhong saw Luka sitting there in a daze, then looked at the dining table, and suddenly remembered that this foreigner didn't know how to use chopsticks, so Li Yuanhong found a pair of knives and forks from the space, took two more tablecloths, and put the knives and forks Put it up.
"Sorry, I forgot that you Westerners don't know how to use chopsticks when eating." Li Yuanhong said apologetically.
"Oh, it doesn't matter. I've actually eaten Chinese food before, but in those Chinese restaurants, they only used knives and forks, and no one used these two sticks to eat."
"Haha, this is not called a stick, it is called chopsticks, a kind of tableware. Don't underestimate these two sticks. They are very useful. They can pick up grains of rice and bones. According to physics, Oh, by the way, it’s called the Leverage Principle.”
"Oh? Are these two sticks so magical?" Luka had heard that Chinese people used chopsticks to eat, but he had never observed them up close, so he looked at Li Yuanhong curiously.
I saw Li Yuanhong nimbly picking up two bamboo chopsticks, then lightly picking up a bean in a small butterfly, putting it in his mouth and eating it. Then the chopsticks flew around and picked up various ingredients on the table, even fist-sized ones. The steamed buns were also lifted up without any effort at all.
But when Luca picked up the knife and fork and went to fork the beans, the beans ran away and were picked up by the fork. This made Luca very embarrassed, so he gave up the beans and went to fork those strip-shaped side dishes. It took a long time before he forked it, and then put it in his mouth to chew. After eating it, the taste was indeed extraordinary. At this time, Li Yuanhong picked up the porridge bowl again and drank it slowly, so Luka also followed suit. Drink porridge.
I have to say that the sweet taste of this millet porridge immediately fascinated the papal assistant. You must know that his breakfast is all bread, milk, fried eggs, and at most a few slices of sausage. This kind of steamed bun porridge Breakfast is my first experience.
Luka was very satisfied with this meal, but when he finished eating, he realized that the armored vehicle had not moved.
"General Li, why isn't this armored vehicle moving?"
"Oh, when this car starts, it will shake and the porridge on the table will be spilled, so I asked them to wait for you to finish eating before starting."
"Will this... delay the attack?"
"No, there is nothing moving right now, only our small unit. The larger unit is probably already exchanging fire with the zombies at this time." Li Yuanhong said with a smile.
"What!" This shocked Luka. You know, he spent more than an hour for this breakfast. This was not because Luka was good at eating, but because he ate these foods with a knife and fork. It’s really a lot of work.
In fact, he didn't know that all this was deliberately arranged by Li Yuanhong. You know, now that the skeleton zombie is dead, there will definitely be no skeleton zombies on the battlefield. How Li Yuanhong can transform this skeleton zombie into the battlefield will become a problem. , so Li Yuanhong thought about it, that is, let the special envoy only see dead zombies, and let him watch the video of the specific battle scenes. As for the video, it is not up to him to decide how to record it.
Luca is very anxious now, but there is nothing he can do. After all, the armored vehicle is already driving very fast. If it goes faster, it may overturn. You must know that after the apocalypse, this road has not been maintained for a long time, and there are all kinds of potholes. All kinds of cracks abound, and it would be great if an armored vehicle could run up to 80 miles.
Luca was afraid that if any cannonball on the battlefield didn't have eyes, he would blow up the zombie wearing the Pope's clothes, and all his hard work would be in vain.
When Li Yuanhong's armored vehicle arrived at a city, the sound of artillery outside was already very sparse, and the gunfire only sounded occasionally, not as intense as imagined. In Luka's view, this must be a sign of restraint by the Chinese army. attack, which reassured Luka.
Just when Li Yuanhong's armored vehicle stopped, a soldier ran over: "Report to the commander-in-chief that the battle is coming to an end and the search team has entered the city to search."
"Okay, let the soldiers pay attention to safety!" Li Yuanhong returned a military salute.
At this time, the entourage following Luka gently translated what the soldier just said in Luka's ear, which surprised Luka.
So Luka pushed open the door of the armored vehicle, ran outside, grabbed the telescope from an officer who was observing the city, and looked in the direction of the city.
Now this city, which had a population of more than 300,000 before the end of the world, has become dilapidated, with ruins everywhere, and thick smoke rising in many places. Seeing this, Luka felt cold. It was obviously baptized by artillery fire. Otherwise, it would not be so dilapidated. You must know that even if the zombies become more powerful after the end of the world, they will not destroy houses at will, so the city of Rome will remain so intact.
"Li...General Li, didn't you promise not to bombard me with artillery fire?"
"Yes, I promised not to bombard the zombie wearing the Pope's clothes with artillery fire. Look at that church in the city. It's not a good one. That's where the zombie is hiding." Li Yuanhong pointed to a church in the center of the city. .
Luca quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the city center. Sure enough, there was a complete church standing there. At this time, a group of soldiers appeared at the door of the church. These soldiers cautiously approached the church and gently opened the church door. At this moment, a sudden rush of people rushed inside. Several zombies emerged. These zombies bared their teeth and claws and rushed towards the soldiers. But at this moment, several gunshots rang out from the roof of a house that did not collapse near the church. As the gunfire rang out, the zombies also followed. They fell, but after they fell, their heads were no longer intact, but were beaten to pieces by sniper bullets.
As several zombies fell to the ground, the soldiers rushed in, followed by another burst of gunfire and the explosion of smoke grenades. After a few minutes, everything calmed down.
In these few minutes, Luca's heart kept hanging, fearing that the bullets in the church would damage the Pope's clothes.
Just when Luca was about to jump out of his body, he saw several soldiers running into the church carrying a soft bed. Someone in the church might have been injured.
But then, the soft bed was brought out. Lying on the soft bed was not the injured soldier, but the skeleton zombie. At this time, his clothes were still intact. From a distance, no signs of damage were found. Luka felt relieved a little.
The team was then protected by the response team and left the city. At this time, Luka no longer paid attention to the ruins and the smoke, but focused entirely on the body.
But just when Luka wanted to approach the soft bed, he was stopped by Li Yuanhong.
"Mr. Luca, I have fulfilled my promise. As you can see, this is the zombie wearing the Pope's clothes. You can see that he wears the Pope's crown on his head, the Pope's cassock on his body, and those on his feet. The pair of shoes are also papal shoes, and the hand is holding a papal staff, and these are not damaged."
Under Li Yuanhong's guidance one by one, Luka took stock of the items. It seemed that the Pope suit could be returned to Zhao intact. But what does it mean that Li Yuanhong is blocking him now
"But we reached an agreement back then. One papal item was exchanged for ten national treasures of our country. Have you forgotten this agreement?"
"No, of course not!" Only then did Luca understand that this was obviously because Li Yuanhong was worried. It seemed that he wanted to hold cultural relics in one hand and the papal cassock in the other. However, this is understandable. After all, it is the end of the world. Although it is still a country on the surface, The level appears, but when you do some dirty things behind your back, you no longer hide it as you did before the end of the world, so it is understandable that you should be a villain first and a gentleman later.
"I will go back and report this matter to His Majesty the Pope. Then we will make an appointment to exchange our belongings." Luca said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, Mr. Luca!" Li Yuanhong said, still smiling.
Next, things will be simple. Both parties will bring the exchanged items and inspect the goods separately. As long as the person in charge of both parties nods, the delivery can be made.
However, during this period, there were still some troubles. Although Lucca brought forty antiques, most of them were folk ornaments from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which were not national treasures at all. There was still a certain value for ordinary people to collect them. If these objects were given away before the end of the world, When you go to the National Palace Museum, I guess experts won’t even look at it.
Li Yuanhong walked around the antiques, then returned to Luca and smiled slightly: "Mr. Luca, what do you think the price of His Majesty the Pope's suit is?"
"Of course it's priceless!" Luka said.
"Really? Why didn't I feel it? Those antiques you brought us are not even worth one leg of the dragon chair in our Forbidden City. Do you think you brought those objects in exchange for your four priceless treasures? I Will you agree?"
"This..." Luca actually told the Pope before that he should not deceive the Chinese people with too many cultural relics. Otherwise, if the stimulation is too much, the papal robes may really be lost.
Unfortunately, the Pope still underestimated the Chinese army's ability to detect treasures. In fact, all of this is due to Li Yuanhong's piercing eyes. Any object placed in front of Li Yuanhong, the detailed information of this object will appear in front of Li Yuanhong's eyes.
